Here’s the weekly post from my author blog on the new releases I found to be of interest in my three favorite romance genres (which are also the ones I write in!), and related areas such as time travel, steampunk, paranormal cozy romances and more. I do sometimes cover other releases of note in science fiction and fantasy.
As always, I recommend sampling before you buy! I have not read most of the new releases listed (although I always end up one-clicking a bunch as I prepare these posts). I don’t pick up every single new release each week but try to provide a representative subset and lots of choices.
Here’s a teaser for this week’s first two books (jump to the blog to see the approximately 85+ titles featured this week):
CRASH LANDED: THE DARANTHIKI (DARVEL OUTCASTS AND SURVIVORS BOOK TWO) by SJ Sanders
As a woman of status, going to the luxurious Galaxoros Colony should have been a simple matter for Daisy McGillin. She had taken all precautions, even going as far as hiring a private charter on a nondescript merchant vessel to make sure that she arrived safely and discreetly. Waking up from cryogenic sleep to discover that she was the lone survivor on the destroyed vessel didn’t make her day, and the Daranthiki cybernetic mercenary who had turned up on the vessel to strip it for parts wasn’t much better. Especially when he appeared to be inclined to leave her behind to fend for herself. Thankfully, the warrior’s loyalty and protection can be bought, but will there be a higher cost for falling in love when they find themselves crash landed and with pirates in pursuit?
ASTRID’S ABRAUXIAN KING: BOOK ONE OF THE ABRAUXIAN BRIDES SERIES by Lisa Clute
One minute, I’m lounging on a yacht with my best friends off the coast of Grand Cayman enjoying sunlight, salt air, and laughter. The next, we’re torn from Earth and hurled across the stars by an alien race desperate to save their dying civilization. I’m Astrid Akselsen, a Miami child psychologist who knows how to stay calm in a crisis. But nothing could have prepared me for waking on Abrauxia, a breathtaking world of towering cities, dangerous oceans, ancient secrets, and creatures that should not exist. Or for meeting Jakvar, the powerful alien king who claims I may be the key to his people’s future. Their females perished. Their empire is unraveling. And the thirteen women stolen from Earth may not be entirely human after all. As unrest spreads through the royal court and something ancient stirs beneath the seas, I find myself drawn deeper into a world of hidden truths, impossible powers, and a bond neither Jakvar nor I fully understand. Protecting my friends means uncovering the mystery behind why we were taken, and what is stalking us before it’s too late. Because the greatest danger on Abrauxia may not be the creatures lurking in the dark.
